Over the past two weeks that Ive been here Ive seen
you learn a lot about mystery books. Ive watched you
learn about suspects and clues; and Ive listened to some
really good discussions about your books that youre
reading in your book clubs. Today, we are going to be
learning another important part of chapter books; were
going to be looking at sidekicks. Sidekicks are important
characters in the story that are always with the main
character and usually help the main character solve the
mystery.

Reflection on lesson:
This was the first reading and mini lesson that I have ever done, so I feel like my lesson had
some good parts and some parts that I could do better on. Fortunately, my teacher gave me two
mystery books that the students were somewhat familiar with and some notes on the objectives,
which really helped me plan my lesson. I think that showing the students two mystery books that
were very similar helped them understand who the sidekick was in that series of books and that
in a series of books many of the characters are the same. Students were very engaged in the
lesson and participated a lot with turning and talking and answering my questions. I thought the
independent practice also went well because students understood and knew who the sidekick
was in their stories, which showed me that my lesson taught them about who a sidekick was.
One thing that I wish I did differently during this lesson would be slow down and take my
time. Since it was my first lesson I was very nervous and talked quickly. The lesson went a lot
quicker than I expected because I rushed through it and did not pay attention to the clock and
what time it was. Another thing that I would do differently is write my lesson plan differently.
When I wrote it I was very specific and planned out exactly what I was going to say, this did not
work well for me during the lesson though because during certain parts I read straight from the
lesson plan because I did not remember exactly what I was supposed to say. Next time I write a
lesson plan I will make it a little more general so I feel like it is more of a plan and less like a
script.
